I bought my Browning A bolt .270 wsm in 2002, and love it. It's my go to gun. I have shot deer as close as 23 yards and as far as 325 yards with it. The only downfall is the ammo is more expensive, but if you shoot straight, it's not that big a deal. I shoot the 130 gr. Win. ballistic silvertip out of it. I know there are a lot of ballistic tip haters here, but I have had great success with them.
